    Anyone know where I can get an over axle exhaust pipe without resonator for a Golf 2 16V? I'm looking for 2" or 2-1/4" because I don't want the backpressure so low that I lose mid-rpm response.

    What about this clause regarding the A/C?

    Sounds to me like anything A/C related can be removed.

    I don't think the stock system has fixed timing, at least not on my '87 16V, unless we mean something different by fixed timing. I believe the Triumph Adler knock box has some kind of electronic...

    Yes, but I'm trying to figure out what group size(s) are allowed. The group 41 looks like the battery I had on my Rabbit diesel! Way big for a gasoline engine. Perhaps I should try the group 90...

    Food for thought, camfire ignition system?
